Re: Sandy's RCR40 Gulf Chassis #11

After having a cold the last 3 consecutive weekends I did a little (very little in the big picture...). Made some fuel pickup and returns. Cold Sawed some 2.75" round bar into some nice slices and took them over to my friends machine shop who let me do some lathe work. The hard part is the welding, and far from being good at aluminum, but got it done. Used -8AN males welded to the flanges, then pushed the -8 tubing up and welded. As you can see I'm not ready for my aircraft cert

The pics...
